HOLY SH!+ AL YOU ALMOST GOT THIS!

Recommended Posts

I normally purchase many lots of 2600 games on Ebay for sale,trade or my collection. Over the weekend I purchased this lot for about $25 shipped.

It arrived today and as I normally do I opened it and sorted the games. I set games aside for trade/sale,for Albert for homebrews, and possibly anything I may need for my collection.

 

I set 4 games in the already half full flat rate Priority Mail box for AL.

 

Ten minutes passed and I thought I probably should just check out this game that had no labels at all.

I pulled out the 2600 and plut the cart in, nothing? AH I forgot, I needed the outlet the other day and need to plug in the power supply. I plug in the power and come from behind the entertainment center and.........

He would have totally thrown that in the pile. Maybe a good idea for Al to print the info on the metal shield, it is always handwritten and the same numbers.

Gosh how many Pepsi Invaders are out there? They find more and more.

 

Taken from Tempest's great writeup on this game on his AtariProto's site:

 

"Often referred to a "Coke Wins", Pepsi Invaders is a very special version of Space Invaders given to Coca-Cola executives at a 1983 sales convention. Each executive was given a complete Atari 2600 system with Pepsi Invaders as a present for attending (why don't I ever get goodies like this for attending sales conventions?). Only 125 copies were made, and they were actually burned onto regular ROM chips instead of EPROM's which one would expect with a low production run game such as this."

I found mine pretty much the same way back in the 90's. It was just one in a big box of carts at a flea market. I believe I got the whole box for about $10.

Soo..... I want to know why you purchased a lot like this, i'm pretty sure you did not need any of these games & the value for $25 including shipping you were not going to make very much. Hmm now i believe your superman & have x-ray vision
